Assalamu’alaikum! The Ar-Razzaq Food Bank Team would like to invite you to our Annual Fundraising Banquet! Join us for a special evening of giving, community, and compassion on Saturday, February 15th, 2025 at 6 pm at SALAM Islamic Center.

We hope you will join us as we come together to support our mission of providing food assistance to families, individuals, and at-risk youth in the Greater Sacramento Area. Your attendance and support will make a direct impact on our ability to serve our community.

In 2024, thanks to the generosity of community members, we were able to provide 3,000 food bags to families in need and 1800 food bags to unhoused individuals. With your participation, we can continue to expand our reach and provide critical resources to those in need!

Severe Weather Aftermath Affecting Ar-Razzaq Food Bank in February 2024

Unfortunately, recent storms caused some water damage to our food bank and office. The warehouse landlord and the Ar-Razzaq Food Bank management team are working hard to complete the repairs so that we may resume our operations as soon as possible.

Due to damage to our office equipment, there will be delays in the issuance of the 2023 year-end acknowledgment/‘Thank You’ letters. In the meantime, please use your personal records to verify the donations you have made to Ar-Razzaq Food Bank. We apologize for this delay, and we will send the receipts out as soon as we can!

If you have any questions or need a receipt sooner, please reach out to us at arrazzaq.foodbank@gmail.com and we will do our best to assist you.

Thank you for your kind understanding and cooperation!

Wassalam,
Team Ar-Razzaq Food Bank
